All Chapters of Tangled Hearts: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

An hour later, Mayra found herself standing in front of the massive mirror of the girls' bathroom, groaning and stomping her feet on the ground every few seconds in frustration as she tried to clean her hair off the milkshake.  Thankfully, she since was wearing a jacket, her t-shirt wasn't spoilt. Carefully, she cleaned the few drops that had dripped off her hair and fell on her jeans. The dustbin beside which was practically empty when she entered earlier was now filled with tissues.  It was impossible to go back to her house, change and come back. She had to take the city bus and it would take two hours. And it would be useless since there were only four lectures that day. She would miss every single one of them. And she wanted to look presentable in the class but milkshake-dyed hair was not even pre.  With a quick glance at her watch, she registered that the first lecture would go o

 Before Mayra could express any concern about having a ridiculous video of her up on the internet and without her permission, they were interrupted by Mrs Dixit's glare.  The class began, and it was surprising to see there was not a single sound which could be heard other than Mrs Dixit's snarky comments about Mr Murthy's substandard ways of teaching and chalk gliding against the board.  She had not failed to mention how ridiculous it was that some teachers believed they could teach better with the help of PowerPoint Presentations. She suspected they were too lazy.  Fortunately, she didn't feed on Mayra's worst fear. She did, of course, announce there was 'new addition to their flock' but didn't call her up to introduce herself and speak for two minutes about her hobbies. That'd be a nightmarish experience!  By the time the class came to an end, the thought of how emb

"Of course, I love you! And I can't wait to change my surname from Ms. Ahuja to Mrs. Singhania!" She whispered into her cellphone.  The luggage she'd packed and taken for her month-long work trip to Delhi glared at her, wanting to be unpacked but she was into the habit of procrastinating. The world wouldn't end if she didn't unpack, right? So, that could wait.  'Didn't catch that. Could you repeat a bit louder?' She could sense him saying that with a nasty smirk across his face. She hoisted her feet into the air and rested them against the wall. The long locks of her dyed hair were strewn across the edge of the bed on which she was lying.  Her lips widened into a big smile, "I wish I could scream it from the terrace of my house so the whole world could hear but my little sister is just in the adjacent room. And I haven't told her about us yet, Vrushank." The smile vanished as the same old feeling of fear s

Aadhya's mood was fairly good. She had stumbled upon Reanna's file which contained a request form for a leave. She was going away for two weeks and that delighted Aadhya. She gathered all her notes along with the books she had issued from the library and made her way back to Room 201 for the last class, Mathematics.  She loved Maths with a passion. Repeatedly she would find herself digging through books, solving any and every question in almost no time. Practice for years and she was close to perfection. Life had been kind to her and on one day even Samarth had asked her to teach him one the concepts he couldn't wrap his head around.  She remembered the day vaguely and a grin formed on her fair face. It was one of the best days of her life.  She was so lost in her memories that she didn't realise she was walking straight ahead and bumped against a student. The books and notes from her hands scattered in al

"Today is the day Samarth Singhania takes his last breath!" Mayra scoffed and stomped her feet on the floor as she walked past several students in the corridor. They watched her in awe and laughed as she passed them. It didn't take them a lot of time to realise she was the same girl from the recent Instagram prank video posted by the Junior Class.  Shrey huffed behind her, trying to keep up with her pace as she stormed out into the campus to look for the person that caused her to fume out in anger. "I know, Mayra, I did promise I'd accompany you in all your ventures but going to jail wasn't something I was expecting to be in the list." She took longer strides as her eyes darted from left to right in search of Samarth. The ridiculous glares she earned from the teenagers settled around her only added fuel to the rage inside of her.  "Maybe, I won't kill him, Shrey! But a few punches will go a
